12U 19 inch 2 Post Rack Cisco 2600 Installation Mounting

NOTE: I installed this Router on the top post placement. I would NOT RECOMMEND THIS for everyone. I installed the Router on top of the Rack so it would be easier to show you what I was doing. Please start with installing equipment from the bottom of the rack and work your way up. This will provide you with safer and easier installation.

Also, check out this link below, for proper cage nut placement.

Installing a Cisco 2600 Router to the top post holes of the 12U Rack. Also a BONUS in the beginning on fixing a bent bracket. This Rack is great for CCNA and CCNP labs! That is what I use it for.
